Thanks - your script does pretty much the same thing, but the patch to  
Schema::Loader is designed so that you can simply have a pre-defined  
hash of tables and associated components in your loader scripts, in  
hope to avoid the repetitive re-generation if you have many tables  
with extra required components.

I imagine a test could just involve adding another TestComponent-style  
library and then adding it to only one table in the  
dbixcsl_common_tests and testing whether a component-provided method  
is available on that table and not the others - but I'd need guidance  
on the best place to insert this from someone more familiar with the  
Schema::Loader test packages...
